K&K Keramik Beech Wood Cabbage Smasher / Stomper

This
stomper or smasher is in the traditional style.
The Cabbage Smasher extracts the natural juices from cabbage. You can use a mallet or your hand, but the
smasher is easier and safer. For sauerkraut
place about 1.5" - 2.0" of
shredded cabbage into fermenting crock, sprinkle with some sea salt and then
start pounding on it with your smasher. Not
too hard, just enough to smash the leaves.
This will create natural juices that form the brine to ferment your shredded
vegetables. Place another layer of
cabbage on top of the other and repeat the process.
